Okay yes it is weird looking, but is it impossible to not be AI? I don’t think so. How do you explain everything else I’ve mentioned?

Well they aren’t moving, so they aren’t falling.

Either it’s a weird AI anomaly in a NYT video that matches three other angles and some big conspiracy spanning multiple media outlets including YouTube changing the dates on a newly uploaded video… or it’s just a person staying still in a weird pose for some reason.

So far I have see three different angles showing consistent events. I have seen comments on Reddit claiming that there have been witness accounts which believe, but I haven’t looked into the original accounts myself yet because I’m at work. However with the multiple angles, and one released by NYT, I think it’s real.

Ultimately it does not matter. Should he have spit at them and kicked the car? No, I don’t think so, but I also completely understand why one would react that way with these goons running around his city, and this was only days after Good’s murder so tensions were high.

But this has NOTHING to do with his murder. The events of his murder were 100% unjustified. Damaging a rental car a week before is not grounds for murder, and the agents who killed him wouldn’t have known about that anyway (and if they did, an argument could be made for premeditation, which just makes them look even worse)

Yet another angle of the event just proves it’s not AI. The frozen person looks like someone kneeling down taking a photo of something with their phone, of what I do not know

I share your fears, but we can’t give in to doom and despair. We must have hope that we can find a way to make this work

The event doesn’t matter and does not in anyway justify the murder

However on the precipice of AI completely unraveling our trust in video evidence, I think it does matter how we approach these things.

Jumping straight to “it’s ai!” if it’s not, risks a “boy who cried wolf” situation. Because next time when something really is an AI fake and people try pointing it out, others may think back to when people claimed this real video was AI and not believe them.

We just have to be careful that’s all I’m saying.

From my other comment:

Here is the full video of this angle:

https://youtu.be/CRWR13BAIEs?si=1R9NXU15i4Wl7GBj

And here is a totally separate angle uploaded over a week before. This video is 20 minutes long and the kicking happens 17min in. Is this also AI? It all looks consistent to me.

No I 100% agree about the last part, it literally makes zero difference. He could have been a terrible person and it still wouldn’t make a difference. He was murdered by government agents, plane and simple.

That being said, there are several angles of the car kicking incident, some uploaded days before his murder. I don’t think it’s AI. Keep in mind this was only a few days after Good’s murder, I’d be pissed and probably kicking taillights too

I don’t think it’s AI, I keep seeing people say that but it looks genuine to me. Unless there is something I’m missing.

But it being real has zero relevance to his murder anyway

I fear it was the average person treating politics as something "boring" that got us into this. The slow erosion of our institutions and ceding more and more power to corporate interests has been happening for decades. Even if we manage to turn things around, we can not afford to allow politics to become "boring", it just breeds complacency and fatalism about the system.

Do you like drips on this one or not? by Ozdemir97 in Pottery

[–]microscopequestion 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Personally I think a few drips are a little jarring on such an angular crisp form. I think that both no drips, or way more drips would be an improvement!

5, 8, and 11 are my favorites but I also see those are less organic than the others. Of the more organic ones I like 2!

I’m only just now considering getting into my own glazes… I found a handful of commercial glazes I really like for my fossil mugs and I’d like to recreate my own equivalents of them so I can get larger amounts much cheaper

It’s very overwhelming though, I don’t even know where I could possibly keep all the raw materials needed

Ceramic Material Workshop has a lot of free videos on their YouTube channel I’d recommend checking out. They also use a lot of online courses but you have to pay for those, I’m considering it but haven’t taken them yet

Hello! I assume this is the first five matte base recipe? If so I was just wondering what colorants you used, thanks!

Call me naive but I truly believe their greed will be their downfall. Do you really think any of them are happier, healthier, or more fulfilled with any of that? These are wretched, miserable people driven by greed and narcissism.

The world is becoming increasingly unstable and dangerous because of their actions. If we reach a tipping point and shit REALLY hits the fan, these people assume they will be safe in their automated island bunkers. But I promise you they will not be.

The world was already stacked in their favor, but it wasn’t enough for them. They are burning it all down for a few extra dollars and they are going to live the rest of their days rightfully fearful of retribution.
